Lancashire has a new Private Investigations Company based in Fulwood, Preston

Squirrel Investigations Limited is the new business venture for ex Senior Detective Jeremy Holland. Whilst the company has a wide remit in relation to private clients, it is within the corporate sector that Jeremy hopes to utilise his wealth of experience from his 25 years Police Service.

Jeremy held many command and control positions with the Police, and, notably, was a trained manager of covert text purchasing operations; an experienced public order practitioner and a fully qualified Major Events Commander, which included football matches and public rallies etc..

Additionally, Jeremy finished his career as detective inspector within CID, where he managed investigations into serious and complex crime, such as attempted murder, GBH, aggravated burglaries, fraud and arson. He was a particular expert in safe guarding, having spent the final 5-6 years of his service managing Community Cohesion Units, and Public Protection Teams, protecting those must vulnerable in our communities.

Whist his skills and abilities will immediately highlight his company to law firms and financial institutions, Jeremy is keen to emphasise that he can help all manner of SME’s with HR issues, employee fraud, and the like.

‘I realised very quickly that to simply list the areas where Squirrel Investigations could help was almost impossible. Applying a structured forensic analysis to a problem will often provide a radical solution, and years of being compliant with legislation means that the solution will not breach the rights of the individual, and will stand up to scrutiny in any future tribunals’

He continues, ‘I will work with clients to fully understand their objectives; provide solutions which are lawful, proportionate and within budget; and signpost alternatives if the solution lies outside of my expertise’.

It goes without saying that any consultation with a corporate or private client is fully confidential, without any obligation, and any meetings can take place at the Squirrel offices or elsewhere.

After 34 years working in numerous operational and communications disciplines for three FTSE companies (Yorkshire Electricity; Meggitt and BAE Systems), at over a dozen locations, on 24 November 2016, I became the inaugural editor of Business Lancashire.
Business Lancashire is a good news, Lancashire focused, business website and daily newsletter. It is a partnership between The Samuel James Group and the North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.
Over the years, I have written hundreds of press releases, features for trade magazines, copy for websites and brochures, edited in-house magazines and newsletters, as well as presenting a radio programme on Chorley FM. This experience has given me the ideal background for editing Business Lancashire.
